  1. The neck/fingerboard worries me. The overhang of the fingerboard must mean it's longer but there are no additional frets. I am wondering what effect this has on the intonation as I reckon the frets higher up must be in the wrong place.
  2. Very interesting but there are no details of what the 'chargeable extras' actually are. That would be helpful (as I am interested). Do you carry it or are there any wheels (can't see any)? Talking about the 3 bass case.
  3. I think we have a member who owns one of these. He'll be along presently I expect.
  4. Pino Palladino recorded the recent Who tracks with just such a beast.
  5. Mind you. I am in almost bound to be in a minority of one when I say that the Rolling Stones are my choice for that accolade.
  6. It's simple for those of us more 'gifted' (and then I woke up!).
  7. This. The quality of Japanese stuff is exceptional. I have owned a good number of them over the years and the build quality has been very high without exception. I've not encountered a bad one. Bought them all 'blind' as well.
  8. I am assuming you are talking about the physio's advice! There are a couple of ways of reading that.. 🙂
  9. Blimey. Howzat!! I did see one of these in use at a World Cup game last year. Pointless. Utterly pointless.
  10. I did the colour coding too. All the PA cables (ours is active) are lilac - bought very reasonably from Studiospares own brand.
  11. Perfect logic. I am similar, to the extent that when I agreed to have a bass made for me, I explained I had to order two (and don't regret it at all).
  12. Someone has already mentioned Russ Ballard. I remember an early Precision (1956 I believe) being advertised on eBay that looked perfect but the description mentioned it had been heavily drilled underneath the scratchplate to lighten it.
  13. That sounds very like a Ki0gon loom.
  14. It was on BBC1 so I guess it could be on iPlayer. Agreed about Macca and Elton John - pretty awful in both cases. Probably significant but the better performances appeared to be artists using studio quality gear as opposed to (apparently) just a phone.
  15. I have to say he impressed me with that. Up to that point I'd always thought of him in the same way as the character Grossbereger from the film Stir Crazy.
  16. A great initiative and some of the performances were really good. Some were decidedly average!! Gives us all hope!!
  17. I have wondered along similar lines myself. Does a digital amp use the same amps as a valve amp of the same output, bearing in mind a lot of energy goes into running the valves. Not exactly your question but along similar lines.
  18. I was at an EC gig at Portsmouth Guildhall back in the days of TOTP. It was a Wednesday night and the band were still in London recording the backing for the next might's show (I think Nick Lowe was depping on bass too). He came out on his own and did about an hour before the rest of the band arrived and they started again.
  19. Gotoh do a lightweight set of period correct tuners which might be worth a thought. They will reduce the weight of neck/bass as a bonus.
  20. Bought a power supply from Jack. Great comms and super fast delivery - bought and paid for on Thursday and delivered, well packaged, on Saturday morning.
